The Forgotten Pistolero (also known as Il pistolero dell'Ave Maria and Gunman of Ave Maria) is a 1969 Italian Spaghetti western written and directed by Ferdinando Baldi. The movie is a western adaptation of the Greek myth of Orestes, subject of three famous drama-plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.[1][2] Ulrich P. Bruckner puts it among the "most interesting and most touching spaghetti westerns of the late sixties".[3]
